How can I make my cat's fur look fluffy, shiny, and healthy?

Cat don't really like baths so I can suggest these things: 1. A [fish oil supplement](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wild-alaskan-salmon-oil-cat-food-supplement) that can be mixed into their food. 2. Use a [waterless shampoo](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/tropiclean-waterless-cat-shampoo-deep-cleaning) product instead of traditional bathing. 3. Daily brushing. Brushing helps to stimulate the normal oils in the skin. Hope this help. Best wishes!

It is hard to see much difference in the coat from the photos, however grooming/trimming can remove the undercoat and make a cat look less fluffy until it has grown back in. Making sure your cat is on the correct nutrition can also ensure their coat stays healthy and full. If you suspect an illness or underlying issue causing it, a vet visit is best to rule out these issues or have them treated.

Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are the most helpful option available for promoting healthy skin and fur growth, in my experience. Welactin is a good brand that can be given daily in Theo's food, and can be purchased or ordered online without a prescription.

Hi and thank you for your question on PetCoach! Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids can help quite a bit with hair and skin health. B vitamins (B12, B5, B9) can also help with skin and coat health. Vitamin E can also help. I would acquire these supplements from your veterinarian. Here's a good supplement on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Theracoat-Skin-and-Coat-Supplement/dp/B005FYOCQ4 I hope this helps!

Sharon is such a great looking dog! The best thing you can do for the fur is to ensure he is on a high quality dog food. You can also add in some fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids over the food twice a day. This will help make the coat grow and shiny. Also, brushing him daily will keep it clean. You can bathe him every 2-3 weeks in a moisturizing shampoo. If you bathe him too often, it will dry out his skin. I hope this helps!

Besides feeding a high quality dog food, you could try Free Form Snip Tips and see if that helps. Free Form Snip Tips provides a concentrated source of Omega-3 fatty acids that promotes healthy skin and a shiny hair coat.

Due to her GI condition, I recommend to discuss any supplements or diet changes with her normal veterinarian to ensure these do not upset her condition. For pets in general, an omega 3 fatty acid supplement can help to improve coat health. There is also a diet line called Royal Canin that carries several different diet lines including diets specific for GI issues. In general this diet line contains supplements for coat health. If your veterinarian agrees, a diet change may also be beneficial. Please post any additional questions.
